1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?
For value its Eidos or Telltale pack, Rome Total War Gold I got sucked into and for the deal price!!!
2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?
Shattered Horizons even for deal price not good, Futuremark is known for demos/benchmarking. This game feels incomplete more like one their benchmark programs.
3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?
Got Torchlight for $10 but don't regret it, just regret I didn't pay $5

Grimfandango
7) What would you pay for it?

Probably not, he did say he was buying stuff. If he worked for Steam you'd think they would allow him access to all games. Plus Jesse wouldn't lie to us? Right? .......... Right?

That's what happens when you play your electric guitar in a lightning storm Kids.

[QUOTE=MSI Magus;6696096



As I said this seems a good place for it! Depending on the games your looking to play I might be interested! Off the top of my head more LfD2 friends are good and id be up for creating a charcter in borderlands or Everquest(its on sale for only $5 with all its Xpacks till tomorrow at 12)and playing them only with CAG steam friends.

[/QUOTE]

Well I only have LFD2 out of those but I'm definitely up for playing it and actually I haven't played the second one online yet. Now if we can get two other people to play every once awhile that would be fantastic.

I like playing with the same people instead of random people all the time then it's easier to progress and feel accomplished IMO.

So it looks like Groups on steam don't have forums which kind of stinks (if that is the case.) I still think it'd be easier to organize on here but I'll hold off for now .


What's your steam name MSI?

Like most I would have to say that there are many older, perhaps lesser known titles that I would like to see on Steam. GoG is a great website but I feel that they charge too much for many of the titles they have available.

Also, (please don't bite my head off) I'm not sure how titles that are Games for Windows Live work with Steam. For example, if I buy Dawn of War II on Steam would I still be able to link it to my Live account?

The Steam Holiday 2009 CAG Survey (Version 2.0--Final Version!)

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?
The sale just ended, so I haven't had the time to try out everything I got, but I'm having a good time with AudioSurf. Sometimes all I do is listen to music on my PC and nothing else, so this adds some fun that nothingness.
2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?
I'm temporarily going to have to go with Shattered Horizon for this, since I can't run it, yet. This will change later in the month. As for games I've already tried out, probably Torchlight. I never got into Diablo, so I thought this could get me into the genre before D3. So far, I'm only having an alright time with it.
3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?
The Sam & Max pack. It was in my cart from 9 to 9, but I never brought myself to check it out. I was and still am hoping it or the TellTale pack goes on sale next time for even less.
4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)
$60.00.
5) What will you do differently next year?
If it turns out that I don't get to all of the games I got during this sale by the next holiday sale, I'll try to be less trigger happy.
6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?
With the shiny new AvP coming out next month, AvP2+expansion would be sick.
7) What would you pay for it?
$3.00
8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?
YES
9) Where's his hair?
NO

Yes.

DoW2 in fact requires Steam, even if you buy it Retail, you need to attach it to a Steam account.

The Steam Holiday 2009 CAG Survey (Version 2.0--Final Version!)

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?

A: Honestly I can't really narrow it down to one. But if I had to choose it would be Torchlight. Great gaming value for $10 or $5.

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?

A: NONE

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?

A: Eh, honestly perhaps Burnout Paradise or the newer Command and Conquer and Red Alert games. My plate is just way too full right now.

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)

A: ~$25

5) What will you do differently next year?

A: Nothing really. Maybe hide my wallet when the Steam Holiday Sale comes rolling around.

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?

A: None really as I do not like to double dip my game purchases.

7) What would you pay for it?

A: A BUCK FIFTY!

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?

A: Maybe...

9) Where's his hair?

A: Australia

The Steam Holiday 2009 CAG Survey (Version 2.0--Final Version!)

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?

A: It was Torchlight (for $10 and worth every penny) until I got L4D2 in a 4-pack with CAG's. Great game so far.

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?

A: Osmos, the Darwinia/Multiwinia pack, and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum. They were impulse buys after reading reviews and people's posts on CAG, but I haven't enjoyed what little I've played of them thus far. I'm sure I'll end up getting my money out of them eventually, and even if I don't, they only cost ~$15 total.

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?

A: No, I just wish I had waited until the end of the sale for some of the games I purchased that dropped in price during daily deals. I could've saved $8 doing so!

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)

A: ~$200.

5) What will you do differently next year?

A: Wait out for daily deals and buy less in general.

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?

A: Baldur's Gate I and II, KOTOR2 (worse than KOTOR I know, but I think I'd still enjoy it).

7) What would you pay for it?

A: $2.50-5.

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?

A: Eh?

9) Where's his hair?

A: dunno

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?

Of what I've played so far, Multiwinia. While I've only spent a few hours with it, the multiplayer experience with my friends is one of the best I've had in a while. There's just something so charming about the game, coupled with the simplicity and variety in the multiplayer that makes it seem timeless. I don't see myself tiring of it any time soon.

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?

While I'm not 100% sure on this, since I haven't played half the games I purchased, I'm going to say Puzzle Quest for $4.99. I already own the DS version, so I didn't really need another another copy, and I don't really have any plans to play it with my huge backlog. It was an impulse buy brought on by some friends, hoping to get some multiplayer going... that lasted as long as it took them to find out they needed to forward ports.

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?

I regret not having enough expendable cash to purchase a lot of games during this sale... most notably the iD pack when it was discounted and Crysis/Crysis Warhead. While I have most of those titles in one form or another, I'd prefer Steam copies... I pretty much don't buy pc games anymore unless it's through Steam or if Steam accepts the CD key.

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)

$120 so far. I might sneak another purchase in before the sale ends.

5) What will you do differently next year?

Save up more money for the sale. Also, less impulse buying on the first day - I was so impressed with the initial offering I spent nearly $60 on the first day, only to see a couple of the titles get even further discounted.

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?

Some older titles, especially 3D Realms games... Death Rally, Duke Nukem Atomic Edition, Shadow Warrior, Raptor... and of course, more LucasArts adventures like Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, and Full Throttle.

7) What would you pay for it?

$$2.49-$9.99 dependant on the title/pack.

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?

If he doesn't, he should.

9) Where's his hair?

Trick question.

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?
Bioshock.

Don't care for DRM so I held up until now. Love the game since it's the closest thing to System Shock 2 since, well, System Shock 2

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?

Maybe the Painkiller Pack since I'm thinking I maybe should have jjust bought Painkiller Black instead. Not a biggie though.

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?

Max Payne Bundle. Have physical copies of both but Steam convenience is good stuff.

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)

About a cool $100

5) What will you do differently next year?

Get the Max Payne bundle if it goes down that low again. No regrets really though.

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?

Tough, but I'd say a Looking Glass Studio pack with the Thief and System Shock games.

7) What would you pay for it?

$10-$15 is fair to me.

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?

That's none of my business.

9) Where's his hair?

Locks of Love?


Also, feel free to add me as a friend. Steam name = MikeUFC

I own L4D 1+2 and Killing Floor and enjoy them all. I usually play after work (around 6 PM PST).

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?
Probally Red Nation or Zombie bowling. There were a lot of games that were cheap and great deals from the sale....but I and others knew about many of them. The best games to come from the sale were the ones like these which I/Others had no clue were good games.

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?
At the moment there are none, but im wondering if ill second think the TellTale pack. $50 was a lot to spend and I wonder if Tales of Monkey Island and Sam and Max are all I play from it....could have got those 2 series on sale way cheaper.

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?
Possibly Red Faction Gurilla.

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)
$230ish

5) What will you do differently next year?
Wait till the final day to buy anything and not get my hopes up for huge deals on the final day.

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?
Like I said above board games like TTR, Carc and Lost Cities

7) What would you pay for it?
$2.00-$10.00 a game

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?
If he does he better hook me up with some discounts!

9) Where's his hair?
He shaved it all and plastered it to his junk to create a giant genital afro.

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?

The Eidos Collector Pack because it is a mega deal and is has a ton of games I like and love in it such as the Deus Ex and Hitman games. Not to mention I can try out Batman AA, Mini Ninjas, Thief, and other games I heard good things about.

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?

None so far, but that's because I haven't played them all yet. I hear Infernal and a few other Eidos games are garbage, but they were essentially free in the pack.

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?

A TON! Missed out on Mass Effect, Jade Empire, Max Payne, CivIV Complete, and a few other games I've been wanting that were perfectly priced. Those are the biggest regrets though and I wasn't online for a week so I would've bought them if I saw them.

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)

~$60

5) What will you do differently next year?

Save lots of money in preparation for this crazy sale!

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?

System Shock series, Fallout series, KOTOR II, more board games (Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, etc.) a bunch of old Xbox games (Otogi series for example), tons more old and hard to find games/previously unavailable on PCs.

7) What would you pay for it?

$5-10 depending on the game.

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?

Nah, he freaking runs Steam!

9) Where's his hair?

Caught in the Matrix.

Long live Jesse! Long live the Steam CAG!

Street Fighter IV. Been playing none stop. For $10 how could you NOT be pleased?

Torchlight for $10 because it went down to $5 and Steam would not give me the difference back. No big loss but I guess Amazon has spoiled me.

The Steam Holiday 2009 CAG Survey (Version 2.0--Final Version!)

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?

Puzzle Quest. It's the single thing I miss most about my Xbox 360, so getting it for $5 was awesome. Really wish it had the expansion as well though.

2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?

Defense Grid, though it may end up being Burnout Paradise (installing it now). It's not a terrible game, but I purchased C&C later in the sales period and would rather have saved my $$$ on Defense Grid (even though it was only $2.49).

3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?

Easily Street Fighter IV. I was on the fence about it and tried to jump on it too late. For $10 it was a steal and would have been fun to just mess around with it, since I used to play SF2 all the time on SNES back in the day. If anyone happens to have an unused steam key for sale, that would be awesome.

4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)

$49.29, though it goes up to $69.27 if you include Torchlight and Last Remnant, which I bought the week before the sale started.

5) What will you do differently next year?

Nothing. I waited until the last day to get any non daily deals, so I already had a sound plan. Maybe do a better job of deciding on purchases so I don't miss out on stuff like I did with SF4, but it's not a huge deal since I've got tons to play.

6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?

Baldur's Gate Complete Collection or KOTOR 2

7) What would you pay for it?

$10 for the collection and $5 for KOTOR 2

8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?

If saying yes results it more awesome Steam deals, then yes

9) Where's his hair?

Being used to knit a sweater since he is too poor after the Steam sales to afford one.

1) What one Steam purchase you made during this sale are you the most pleased with? Why?
Borderlands Zombie Island DLC.The DLC was awesome and it really got me into the game again so I started a second playthrough with my soldier to get him to level 50.


2) What one Steam purchase from this sale are you least pleased with? Why?
Can't comment on this yet. I haven't even downloaded over half the stuff I bought but I don't see myself being displeased with any of it.


3) Are there any daily deals you regret not purchasing?
Nope.


4) How much did you spend on this sale? (Estimates are fine.)
~ $100


5) What will you do differently next year?
Wait until the last day before buying anything to make sure it doesn't show up as a daily deal.


6) What game would you most like to see on Steam?
Most games that I want are already on Steam. But I would like them to get Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow. That is the only SC game I don't have on Steam.


7) What would you pay for it?
$5


8) Does this guy work for Steam, or what?
We all work for Steam. All hail our glorious Steam overlords!


9) Where's his hair?
Hair is overrated.

I'd really love to see the Quest for Glory or Police Quest Collections on Steam. Some of my best memories are from those games.

In terms of deals, I wouldn't mind seeing The Witcher showing up later (and cheaper) or Mass Effect at $5 (or lower) again. The biggest thing I'd love to see is DA:O Deluxe at $35 or less.

Originally Posted by namster1337 Good thread idea . I hope to see Fallout 3 GOTY, and the Splinter Cell games for the weekly deals. And to further start the thread, i'll repost my purchases :P

How did you get L4D2 and MW2 for free? Anyhow, here are my recent purchases. It was hell trying to resist buying about 10 more things during the super sale but I already have so much crap to play that it would have just been a waste:
